OOC: I got bored, so decided to try some new things for the character. Being as the two halves of this are quite different, I am writing this in two. IF YOU READ THIS, PLEASE COMMENT! PART TWO FURTHER DOWN THE THREAD
--------
"And after that, we settled down back home"
Fett smiled at the mans story. They had been travelling in realspace for some time now, due to a nearby asteroid field. It had been decided that the Corellian politicion onboard the Corvette was too important to risk. They had nearly reached the end of the danger now, then just one more jump, and theyd be home. That thought made Fett glad. he hated helping Corellia out, but he had to do it. For noone but himself. After giving up as a hitman, hed decided that he had to do something to repay Corellia. So, hed done volunteer missions for them. This was the final one. He was escorting some important dignitary from Coruscant to Corellia, as one of the escort ships. Apart from him, there was a full squadron of X-Wings, as well as the Dignitaries personal ship, the Cruiser The Defiant.
"So, what about you Ash? You got anyone back home?" The man asked over the comms.
"No, not a soul" Fett replied.
"Noone at all?"
"Nope. Anyone I had, I lost"
"I'm sorry to hear that"
"Me too" came his reply. Of all the things there was to talk about, this was worse for him. It brought back memories of that day...
Sitting at the table, Fett smiled to see Jana walking towards him. She wore simple clothes, just trousers, shirt and a nerfhide jacket. To him though, she could have been wearing a Hutts winter gear. To him, she was still the best thing he had seen in weeks. Getting up, he saw her jog over to him, and kiss him slowly on the lips. They had known each other for years, but only recently had they realised there was something more between them. Unfortunately for both of them, due to Fett's work as a Hitman and Jasa's job as a snubfighter escort for a pleasure cruiser, the two were often apart. Because of this, they had to make the most of the time they had together. But not any more. Fett had retired now, it was over for him. He'd promised her he would get a job on the cruiser with her, as a pilot of an escort or something, so they could stay together.
"From the welcome, Id guess you were happy to see me" he said jokingly, as he slowly put his arms round her.
"Mildly pleased" she replied, gently knocking some of her brown hair away from her face, before resting her hands on his hips.
"Is that it? All I do for you is mildly pleased?" replied Fett, faking hurt
"Well, you're going to have to make me change my opinion, arent you?"
"Its what I do best" he replied, as he passionately kissed her, and he felt like he had died and gone to heaven. It was then that he heard two sharp noises, and Jana's body jerked forward...
Pulling her down behind a booth, he looked down to see two large blaster marks in her back, burned deep into her. Fett swallowed hard, as he realised the truth. Jana was dying, and it was because of a man after him. Looking back up to her face, he leant forward to hear her speak.
"I'm........gone........arent I?" She said, struggling to speak
"I'm sorry" he replied, fighting back the tears.
"Dont.......be...............I....love...." said Jana, before going silent.
Fett buried his head in his arm and began to breath heavily, before slowly looking back up, and closing her eyes. Slowly getting up, he saw a man at the other end of the room, holding a blaster, slowly walking away. Pulling out his pistols, he ran at the man, firing both wildly.
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"
Fett bolted up as he heard the comm come to life, from The Defiant
"All craft listen up. We are now leaving the asteroid area. Prepare for hyperspace on my mark"
Fett spun into a better position, and strapped himself in, still thinking about Jana. In one day, I'd lost almost everything, because of one man. I took care of him, but there would be others. Never again he thought, as he pulled the hyperspace throttle, watching the stars turn into lines, and then blue...
...Only to reappear moments later, with ships in front
"Pirates!" Came a voice from one of the X-Wings
Cracking his neck, Fett got hold of the control stick, and shouted back to Nacho, his R2 unit.
"Get plugged in and power up the Quad, I think we're in for a rough ride!"
He slowed down The Chainsaw, as did the X-Wings, waiting to see what happened. For a long time, they remeained still. Fett believed they were using a modified Star Destroyer, now updated with a gravity well, as well as many Uglies. After a long while of waiting, Fett allowed his mind to drift...
Facing Mortyr Rann, the man who had killed Jana, had brought many memories into his mind, the main one being why he had hunted him down. Now, Fett had a Slugthrower pointed at his head, and Mortyr was trapped.
"You know, when I killed her, I felt sorry at first. But now, having met you, I just think she must have been a pathetic excuse for a human to have settled for you, so deserved to die" said Rann, smiling.
Anger visible on his face, Fett aimed lower, and shot the man in the crotch. He doubled over in agony, and dropped to the floor. Fett walked to a railing, and looked down. They were at a very high point of Coruscant, and the drop was unbelevable. Pulling a small container off his belt, he spread the contents on the railing. He then walked up to Rann, kicking him in the ribs until he heard a crack, before picking him up. He swung him over the railing, and dropped one of the mans fingers on one of his hands in the substance, leaving him hanging over the drop.
"Industrial strength glue. Now, this should be interesting. You see, without medical attention, which you arent going to get, you should die of your wounds slowly and painfully. However, there is a long drop for you now, which will take a while to reach the bottom of. Now, which one do you think will kill you first?" Fett said, before pulling a vibroblade out of his boot.
"Lets find out" he says, and stabs the blade into one of his fingers, severing it, causing Rann to squeal out in pain.
"This little Mynock went to market"
THUMP
"This little Mynock stayed at home"
THUMP
"And this little Mynock went thousands of miles down to the bottom of Coruscant, bleeding all the way down"
THUMP
Smiling, Fett watched the man plummet downwards, his face a picture of pain, fear and shock. Walking away, Fett suddenly stopped as he realised what he had done. That wasn't for money. That was for pleasure. Should I have done that?
He stood where he was for a long period of time, before nodding to himself
Course it was, it was payback. Let someone else care about morals for now
And with that, he left
Opening his eyes, he saw that the Uglies were now approaching at high speeds, while the Star Destroyer stayed still.
"Get ready" Came the response from The Defiant
